Wolverine Is Ssssmokin’! Jim Carrey-Hugh Jackman Social Smackdown Goes Next Level
As if we needed proof Jim Carrey would make a good mutant… With the help of hair product and some kitchen utensils, the funnyman took to Twitter Thursday to poke some fun at buddy Hugh Jackman’s signature superhero.
There’s a backstory to Carrey’s X-Man impersonation. Late Monday, Jackman posted a clip on Instagram of him contorting his face in homage to Carrey’s classic “ssssmokin’!” delivery in The Mask.
The caption gave a shout-out to Carrey: “#JimCarrey mate trying my best to do justice! Clearly, I should stay in my own lane.”
That prompted Carrey’s good-natured, well-coiffed retaliation.
Nice move @RealHughJackman Now watch me make a meal out of your biggest role. ;^> pic.twitter.com/GUfHB2RR4L

Until Jackman escalates (you’re on notice, Hugh!), we’ll give actor-comedian Hal Sparks the last word:
